Ricoh fi-680PRB endorser/imprinter Reverse page

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The Ricoh fi-680PRB Reverse page endorser/imprinter is one of those “only useful if you actually need it” add-ons. If your workflow is sending invoices, forms, or documents that must have a controlled print/endorsement stamp on the reverse side, it can be a proper time-saver because it helps you keep everything automated in the scan line rather than batching it and hitting a printer or manual stamp later. At ~£1.3k ex-VAT, it’s not cheap, but if you’re doing high volumes or you’re trying to reduce back-office rework, that cost can pay for itself surprisingly fast.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it just because it’s available. If you mainly scan forward pages, or your “print” needs are occasional, you’ll likely find the money better spent on improving document handling (paper reliability, feeder performance, operator time) or on a scanner that better matches your everyday throughput. Also, make sure your existing Ricoh scanner setup and software workflow can actually use the reverse endorsement reliably—otherwise you’ll end up paying for a feature that you can’t integrate smoothly. In short: buy it if reverse-side endorsements are a real, frequent requirement in your processing; skip it if you don’t have a clear volume and compliance-driven reason.
